CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 365: CITYWIDE LOCKDOWN!

How could he not be familiar with the name Xiao Tian? It was because of this Xiao Tian that the last capture operation offended many Japanese families and even the Mizuno Clan, bringing him endless trouble.

Yakai Daluo had been preparing to take revenge on Xiao Tian. Unexpectedly, before he could act, this guy jumped out again to ruin his plans!

At this moment, Yakai Daluo clenched his fists in anger and directly ordered, "City lockdown! National manhunt! Deploy all special forces, this time he must die in Japan!"

For Xiao Tian, who had repeatedly caused him so much suffering, Yakai Daluo’s expectations were filled with murderous intent.

"Yes!" Suzuki Shenye heard this and dared not hesitate, immediately rushing out of the meeting room.

"Hmph." After Yakai Daluo gave his orders, a high-ranking military official stood up with a face full of disdain and said:

"Director Yakai, I have no hope for your police department anymore; you’re all a bunch of good-for-nothings! Even the Prime Minister is very concerned about this information, and it must be ensured that nothing goes wrong!"

This high-ranking military official held a high position and authority, so Yakai Daluo could only swallow his anger, sitting silently by the side.

Then the high-ranking military official took out his phone and dialed the Self-Defense Forces headquarters.

"Hello? We have confirmed the suspect’s information. Please quickly mobilize troops to assist in the capture! Also, send a few elite snipers!"

Everything seemed ready, now all that remained was the good news of Xiao Tian being caught.

Just then, the door of the meeting room was opened again, and an intelligence officer rushed over to Yakai Daluo with a photo.

"Deputy Director, we just made a new discovery!"

Yakai Daluo looked at the beautiful woman in the photo and was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized this was not the time to admire beauty!

Yakai Daluo calmly asked, "Who is this person?"

"Lin Bingxuan, Xiao Tian’s woman! The information was provided by Fujino Aki, the president of Shenhe Corporation, it’s guaranteed to be accurate!"

"Oh?"

Previously, Yakai Daluo was worried about whether Xiao Tian could be found. Upon hearing this news, he was delighted, looking at the photo with a face full of triumph.

"This woman named Lin Bingxuan is currently at a hotel near Shenhe Corporation. What should we do now?" the intelligence officer asked.

"No rush!" He waved his hand, saying lightly, "Dispatch people to stake out near that hotel, don’t rush to take action."

"Let’s show Xiao Tian a Huaxia-style waiting game! Hahaha." Yakai Daluo’s smile grew wider.

-----

The nationwide manhunt message spread within just two hours.

Before 2 a.m., the entire Japan entered a Level 1 alert state, all flights were canceled, train stations were shut down. All exit routes were cut off, and heavy guards were deployed.

The military was urgently mobilized at night, accompanied by snipers.

All actions were ultimately aimed at one person — Xiao Tian!

The entire Japan was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

On the following morning, Lin Bingxuan woke up. She found a blanket draped over her; her clothes were still on. It seemed that she had fallen asleep due to exhaustion over the past few days.

There was no sign of Xiao Tian in the room, and the beer on the table was untouched, everything indicating to Lin Bingxuan that Xiao Tian had left during the night.

In fact, ever since Xiao Tian received a phone call yesterday, Lin Bingxuan had noticed Xiao Tian acting strangely.

Lin Bingxuan knew Xiao Tian very well; he seemed carefree on the surface but was deeply meticulous and serious inside. Since Xiao Tian chose to hide something, he must have his reasons, and Lin Bingxuan didn’t inquire further.

All Lin Bingxuan could do was silently pray for Xiao Tian’s safety.

Lin Bingxuan turned on the TV, only to find that almost all TV stations were broadcasting the same content — a wanted notice!

The wanted notice reported that a Huaxia spy had stolen important military information in Japan and injured many. Anyone who could capture this person would be rewarded with one billion yen by the military!

Lin Bingxuan was somewhat shocked while watching at the edge of the bed, exclaiming, "Who is so formidable?"

However, in the next moment, when the suspect’s name appeared on the TV, Lin Bingxuan’s expression froze instantly.

On the screen, prominently displayed were the characters for "Xiao Tian" accompanied by a photo of him!

Lin Bingxuan was as if struck heavily, taking a long time to react.

Upon initially seeing the name, Lin Bingxuan had consoled and deceived herself into thinking it was just a common name. However, when she saw Xiao Tian’s photo, everything was easily shattered.

The first thing she did was hastily grab her phone, her fingers rapidly dialing a familiar number.

During the call, Lin Bingxuan’s heart was filled with prayers.

Xiao Tian, pick up the phone, tell me you’re safe!!!

Pick up the phone!!!

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is..."

But what greeted Lin Bingxuan was the cold voice of the operator on the other end. Lin Bingxuan’s phone fell from her hand, landing with a clatter on the ground.

What on earth happened?? How could I be on a nationwide manhunt?

The sudden turn of events made Lin Bingxuan feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. Her eyes were red, and she was extremely anxious.

But she had no way out; she couldn’t reach Xiao Tian at all, nor did she know where Xiao Tian was.

----

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian was driving that group of Huaxia elites towards their destination, and they were about to arrive soon.

At this moment, dawn was just beginning to break. The horizon was turning a pale fish-belly white, with a hint of red glow burning like flames across the sky.

After a night of escape, this group of Huaxia elites originally thought they wouldn’t see the dawn of tomorrow. At this moment, as they looked out the window, everyone’s mood finally eased a bit.

At this time, He Hong suddenly spotted several huge red columns in the distance, a wooden pavilion emerging from the forest, remarkably imposing.

"This is...." He Hong muttered.

Xiao Tian glanced and replied, "That’s a shrine in Japan, meant for worshipping those war criminals."

"Bah!" A still curious He Hong immediately spat and angrily said, "Those invaders deserve to be worshipped? I really want to just blow it up!"

"Haha, team leader, you should save your energy. This shrine is an extremely sacred existence in Japan. Many major families come here for grand ceremonies annually; it looks calm on the surface but is heavily guarded. I bet you’ll be turned into a sieve before you even get in!"

Hearing the team member’s joke-like remark, everyone inside the car couldn’t help but laugh, seemingly having forgotten their pain.

In response, Xiao Tian could only smile wryly; this should be the emotion every Huaxia person ought to have.

**

An hour later, the car twisted and turned along the mountain road, finally arriving at the agreed-upon location, a hidden airstrip in the forest.

This airstrip is remote, located deep in the mountains and forests. It’s been used for years as Huaxia’s secret airstrip and has never been discovered by the Japanese side.

Xiao Tian stopped the car, and several people got out. Xiao Tian spoke in a somewhat urgent tone, "The helicopter still needs some time to get here. I have to go back to Tokyo to pick someone up; you guys just wait here."

"Isn’t that too dangerous?" He Hong asked with some concern.

The group had rushed here overnight, and it’s likely that the Japanese side had already been turned upside down. They definitely wouldn’t be content with the information and documents being snatched away; right now, the entire city is undoubtedly in turmoil, countless people searching for them.

Returning now, He Hong was naturally a bit worried.

Xiao Tian shook his head with a smile, "That’s someone very important to me; even if it’s dangerous, I have to go."

Saying this, Xiao Tian got into the car. He Hong didn’t say much more, knowing that even if he followed Xiao Tian, he’d just be a hindrance anyway.

Seeing Xiao Tian’s determined tone, He Hong instantly stood at attention and saluted the departing car.

"Hunter, I wish you a safe journey!"

----

Xiao Tian sped along the road in the black sedan. In fact, he couldn’t help feeling a bit unrested inside.

Right now, Lin Bingxuan, who was alone in Tokyo, was all that Xiao Tian worried about. After all, being in Japan, if the Japanese side could pursue Huaxia’s elites, they would naturally have the ability to find out Lin Bingxuan’s information and address.

Using women as leverage is the most despicable act originally, something Xiao Tian never considered using even when he was in the army facing the most heinous criminals.

As a person, one must have their own principles. But these Japanese people, Xiao Tian didn’t think they had any principles worth mentioning.

Xiao Tian’s car weaved through the highway, overtaking all other cars like a streak of lightning.

His car seemed to have a life of its own, incredibly swift on the crowded highway, without colliding with any vehicles.

Those drivers who saw Xiao Tian’s car zoom past were all dumbfounded.

At such a speed, the journey that originally took four or five hours was completed by Xiao Tian in just over an hour.

The car was about to enter Jingdong, and Xiao Tian bought a set of clothes in a small town on Jingdong’s edge, making a simple disguise.

As a special forces soldier, disguising is a basic skill. With complete tools, one could completely transform into another person that even their family couldn’t recognize.

This disguise indeed worked, and as Xiao Tian entered the city, the numerous police and military personnel completely failed to recognize him.

Xiao Tian drove the car to the hotel’s backyard and climbed directly over the wall.

After entering the hotel courtyard, Xiao Tian didn’t choose to enter through the front door. If his expectations were correct, who knows how many Japanese people were lying in ambush throughout the hotel, ready to swarm him as soon as he showed his face.

Xiao Tian wasn’t afraid of these, but his worry was for Lin Bingxuan, not wanting to waste a single moment.

Xiao Tian circled to the back of the hotel, looking up at the hotel’s tall building and its smooth marble walls.

This hotel is famous in Tokyo for its height, making it a favorite challenging spot for many rock-climbing enthusiasts due to its high degree of difficulty.

Xiao Tian looked up, confirming Lin Bingxuan’s room’s location, without a moment’s hesitation.

Xiao Tian leapt up, jumping directly onto a nearby branch, then grabbed a very narrow crevice in the wall and started climbing.

Xiao Tian’s hands and feet moved along the wall like he was swimming, as if any part of the wall was his foothold.
